Hi, I am thinking of making a home studio in this room that it is not rectangle (please find attachment) After long time thinking, I think this is the best idea because at the same time it is like I am having bass traps in the front wall. And by moving the red wall (proposed) backwards, the room is more rectangular and at the same time eliminating corners. Any help and comments please? Thanks in advance Eman. Vella ..read more

Hi HomeRecording.com Forum Readers, I have an issue with my recording space and I hope you can hep me diagnose the problem, and maybe even suggest some solutions. The problem is that I am picking up hum or a "buzz" into my system. The sound is not audible to ears, only through the recording equipment, which has me assuming that this is electrical interference. Overall, the sound is variable, so some days it's unnoticeable, but one occasion has ruined a day's take. During troubleshooting... Read more ..read more

What are your thoughts on keeping a laptop, interface, headphones + speaker in a garden cabin? The roof is insulated but it still gets very cold in the winter (I'm in the UK). I have an oil heater that I leave on all day and night sometimes, but that is not always feasible. Could my equipment experience problems with humidity and condensation in the long run; if so would it be enough to just cover it all up when not in use, or buy myself a dehumidifier like this one...

I have a home studio that is about 12 x 35ft with a 25ft. cieling. The walls are wood and dry wall. 100hz is all but disappearing at my mix position. Any quick fixes????? Thanks, Telemaster ..read more

I have a recording studio in my home, up in a building that is disconnected from my house (basically like an attic). The room is fairly long, it has a pretty good width to it, the ceiling height isn't very tall, and the shape of the room is that classic A-frame shape. As far as the sound treatment goes, I have some panels up on the walls and soon I plan on placing some bass traps and cloud panels for the ceiling. My dilemma right now is, my desk is in an awkward position right now and I've... Read more ..read more

Hello mates. I'm going to use part of the brick house and make it a room to practice singing and voices in general. The room faces the street where there are cars, people and various sounds. The room has two large windows with single glazing. I have no plans to replace the windows, just insulate them. It is only the windows that I want to insulate. Not floors, ceilings or walls... Now I want to take the opportunity to ask you if anyone has experience of how to easily insulate windows in a... Read more ..read more

Hi everyone. It’s been a while since I’ve been to the forum… glad to see it’s still kicking! I’m in the midst of building a studio. I’ve got just under 800 sq ft with 9ft ceilings, laminate flooring and a mostly rectangular shape. I’m doing what I can with baffling and such and plan to use a calibration mic in the next couple of weeks to fine tune reflections. I’ve built a few gobos and can build more as necessary. What I’m after with this post, is info on how live rooms in the 60s and... Read more ..read more

I have a room that is too live-sounding. I bought a monstrous so-called "portable" sound booth, but returned it. I bought a Kaotica Eyeball but will return it when it arrives. I have heard some bad reviews about how it muffles the sound quality. I just received an SE Electronics Reflexion Filter Pro and am trying to figure out how to use it. (The instructions are terrible). Will this mic stand work? If not, what kind do I need? Do I keep this one and use a second one for the... Read more ..read more

What do you think? I am doing up an informal recording space in my new abode. I have a mess of 2 x 4 panels of rigid insulation from my old space but as I got to looking at the new space I realize that the wall behind my seating position is where I have all my amps arrayed. I count 15 10" or 12" speakers in all these cabs and I even have a few PA cabs I could put there. With all those sprung cones how many panels could I need? I could easily do the whole wall but I'm wondering why bother... Read more ..read more
